Ah, heavy cavalry! I always like to mount my heavy cavalry on darker horses to make them look more menacing. Glenn has decided to add some more bases to these, so the Prussian army is not quite done, but it's very close.

Cuirassiers

1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Cuirassiers

Mr. Barton has sculpted these figures in their dark blue Litewka, which they would have worn in the field. Only the officer is depicted in white coat.

Dragoons

1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th Dragoons

The Dragoons wore a light blue Litewka, and sources depict that shade everything from a sky blue to a deep cornflower. I settled for the middle ground, painting Delta's "Liberty Blue" over their "Blueberry."

I'm just waiting on a Eureka order, and I will paint up the rest of the cavalry.
